200 MM RETICLE SMIF POD SPECIFICATIONS
Introduction
The 200 mm Reticle SMIF Pod (RSP) provides mask
shops and reticle users with a standard mechanical
interface (SMIF) to the safe handling, storage and
transport of 150 mm reticles with or without pellicles. The product is based on provisional SEMI®
Standards. The 200 mm RSP interfaces with SEMI
Standard SMIF equipment. The RSP provides both
static protection and ultraviolet light protection for
masks and reticles. The RSP has inert gas purge
capability via an inlet valve and outlet valve located
in the door. In addition, the RSP has info pads that
provide protection to users with respect to improper
placement on incorrect process equipment.
Optional stacking features are available.

Material Properties
UV Light Protection
The transparent dome has a color additive to
minimize ultraviolet light transmission to protect
photo sensitive materials used in photolithography
applications. The transmissibility curve outlines
the percentage of light transmission at various
wavelengths. Entegris’ specification is zero light
transmission at <470 nm wavelength. The curve
below represents typical light transmittance
performance.

Inspection Criteria
ESD Protection
The RSP provides an electrical path to ground
from all the reticle contact points and from all
manual or automated pick-up points, including
the manual handles.
Visual
Each sub-component and finished RSP assembly
is inspected based on plastics industry standards,
Entegris capability and semiconductor wafer
carrier standards.
To achieve this requirement, the plastic resins
are filled with a conductive additive (i.e., carbon
or stainless steel fibers). The conductive additives
provide the electrical conductivity measured in
surface resistivity (Ohms/Sq) and/or static decay
time (seconds).
Mechanical Interface
Dimensions
Raw resin certification includes conductive
fiber loading and random sampling on molded
components.
RSP is inspected and checked against select SEMI
mechanical interface dimensions defined as control
dimensions.
SURFACE RESISTIVITY
RSP Component
Door
Surface Resistivity (Ohms / Sq)
<10^6
Entegris’ plan of record is to measure control
dimensions using both dial height indicators
gauging and surface plates in Class 1000 or
better environment.
STATIC DECAY

Testing
Cycle
Upon completion of an RSP assembly, it will cycle
test the RSP on a 200 mm Indexer in a Class 10
cleanroom to ensure proper functionality.

Flammability Test
RSP material of construction does not comply with

(FM) flammability requirements.
RSP Cleanliness and Cleaning
Entegris 200 mm reticle SMIF Pod is designed for
cleanability — minimal water or moisture traps in
either door or shell.
No disassembly is required, including gaskets and
breather filters. We recommend cleaning the RSP
as a dome assembly and door assembly. We recommend no disassembly of components. Purge valves
(if used) are also designed to be effectively cleaned
and dried without any disassembly. A special tool is
required to insert /remove filters.
Dry Criteria
Matching Door to Dome
We recommend cleaning the door and the dome at
the same time and in the same cleaning process to
minimize cross contamination and simplify mating
the two components with matching serialization,
post cleaning.
Cleaning Compatibility
We recommend cleaning and drying with commercially available RSP cleaners. D.I. water systems are
acceptable, with or without surfactants.
No visible water droplets or visible moisture on any
RSP component.
Temperatures
We recommend cleaning and drying temperatures
not to exceed 60˚C.

Configurable Info Pads
The door bottom is designed to the 200 mm RSP
SEMI standards and has info pads to provide the
user with lock-out capability on process tool loadports. Four info pads are identified as A, B, C & D
per SEMI standards and are designed to be userconfigurable. Info pad “plugs” snap into the desired
info pad hole to configure the pod for lock-out on
process tools.
Standard product has A & B open and C & D closed
(plugged).
